Unfortunately your ucat is going to be the only limiting factor your other stats are really good. Defo apply Liverpool and Plymouth, Cardiff may be risky with your GCSEs, Dundee is a possibility but v competitive if non Scottish. Leeds may be another shot

UCAT can often be fixed with a gap year, you can't fix failing to get AAA at A level as so many dental schools will not take resits, so focus on your A levels.

If you would consider Belfast with a gap year, remember they will automatically reject you if you don't include them in your 1st set of applications.
